  1. Re:Define "irony" on GOCE Satellite Is Falling To Earth But Nobody Knows Where It Will Land · · Score: 1

    Surely at this point it's safe to say Voyager 1 has completely left our atmosphere?

    (yes, I know)

  2. Re:HD is replaceable on A Playstation 4 Teardown · · Score: 1

    And it can be done without tearing the machine apart like that. The slot can be slit out to get access to the single screw holding it firmly in place. You won't have to remove the stickers that (could potentially) affect the warranty.

  3. Re:Helium Leaks on 6TB Helium-Filled Hard Drives Take Flight · · Score: 1

    Since they are full of helium, I suspect it to be from under the shelf, and not off the shelf.

  4. Re:When will he be arrested? on Atlanta Man Shatters Coast-to-Coast Driving Record, Averaging 98MPH · · Score: 1

    Whenever the discussion of speed limits comes along, one word always crops up. That word is arbitrary. The other word that regularly appears is Autobahn. That highways in the US even have a speed limit (when dry) is puzzling to anyone who's ever been to Germany.

  5. Re:Bring on the wearable interfaces. on 20-Somethings Think It's OK To Text and Answer Calls In Business Meetings · · Score: 1

    This is why /. needs a "-1 Get off my Lawn" mod

  6. Re:Best of both worlds on FAA To Allow Use of Most Electronic Devices Throughout Flights · · Score: 1

    It does if you beat the Pilot to death with it.

  7. Re:Thanks Snowden on Silent Circle, Lavabit Unite For 'Dark Mail' Encrypted Email Project · · Score: 1

    And now this! Not only has he shaken the political world-society, he has also [b]aroused[/b] the tech-world and made it possible to make some major changes.

    The mental image this prompted has me disturbed.

  8. Re:When will the sheep look up on NSA Broke Into Links Between Google, Yahoo Datacenters · · Score: 1

    I never realised Ornithology had such a presence here on /.

  9. Re:Why not just build on VP9? on Cisco Releases Open Source "Binary Module" For H.264 In WebRTC · · Score: 2

    And you trust a Google search to be impartial in this!?

  10. Re:Good for the EU. on US Executions Threaten Supply of Anaesthetic Used For Surgical Procedures · · Score: 1

    Thanks, the way the summary described it really irked me.

    "This is not the first time that the E.U.'s anti-death-penalty stance has affected the U.S. supply of anesthetics"

    I'm sorry US, it's your stance on killing your citizens that has affected your supply of anaesthetics.

  11. Re:38 billion in productivity or on Autonomous Cars Will Save Money and Lives · · Score: 1

    I know something I could do with that 30 minutes that is much more productive than sleeping *wink wink*.

    Yeah, my emails and RSS feeds aren't going to check themselves!

  12. Re:After realism comes stylized graphics on Next-Gen GPU Progress Slowing As It Aims for 20 nm and Beyond · · Score: 1

    Or hell, perhaps they'll make games not propped up with graphics!

  13. Last Post! on First Experimental Evidence That Time Is an Emergent Quantum Phenomenon · · Score: 1
  14. Re:I'm sorry sir... on Would-Be Tesla Owners Jump Through Hoops To Skirt Wacky Texas Rules · · Score: 2

    Oh ans sir, I almost forgot, but it might interest you to know that someone may have neglected to remove the keys from the ignition of that car over there, and it is our policy not to press charges for people who, should they steal it, return it in a timely manner...

  15. I'm sorry sir... on Would-Be Tesla Owners Jump Through Hoops To Skirt Wacky Texas Rules · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry sir, but local laws forbid me from telling you that the car costs 75,000$ or that it would be 5 years of monthly payments at X per month. Is there anything I can answer for you, sir?

  16. Re:30Km isn't space on Company To Balloon Tourists To the Edge of Space For $75,000 · · Score: 2

    Voyager 1 isn't in space yet.

  17. Re:Type 1 v Type 2 diabetes on Finnish Team Makes Diabetes Vaccine Breakthrough · · Score: 1

    I thought it was Fructose and Sucrose (and by extension, HFCS), and not Glucose that was causing this.

  18. Re:Type 1 v Type 2 diabetes on Finnish Team Makes Diabetes Vaccine Breakthrough · · Score: 2

    This is something that confuses me about all this.

    If you have a genetic problem, where your immune response to the virus is what causes you to end up with Type 1 diabetes, how is a vaccine going to help? Surely even a small dose, which triggers the immune response, is going to have the same effect?

  19. Re:It's simple physics on Ocean Currents Explain Why Northern Hemisphere Is Soggier · · Score: 1

    Did you know also, that because of its location, all the air pools down in the southern hemisphere, so much so that its density is higher than that of cork, which is why Australians wear it on their hats to help them stick to the ground better.

  20. Bad Summary on NSA Intercepted French Telephone Calls "On a Massive Scale" · · Score: 2

    The summary makes no mention of how much all these phone calls weighed.

  21. Re:This is getting tiring on Facebook Isn't Accepting New Posts, Likes, Comments... · · Score: 1

    A Facebook outage, like a Google outage, is news. Sure, there might be a bunch of stuff that worthless, but actual outages are news.

    Ahhh sweet sweet release. Seriously, I was getting the shakes.

    *off in search of more things to like*

  23. It's simple physics on Ocean Currents Explain Why Northern Hemisphere Is Soggier · · Score: 4, Funny

    Northern hemisphere is on top, southern hemisphere is underneath, rain falls downwards. TBH it's a miracle that rain falls in the southern hemisphere at all. I think they use magnets.

  24. Re:So what your saying is... on No, the Earth (almost Certainly) Won't Be Hit By an Asteroid In 2032 · · Score: 1

    "before we get hit by that asteriod?"

    There are plenty more rocks in space for us to be hit by. There's hope yet!

    We shouldn't be worried about that. I'm more worried she might be doing the things I did as a teenager!
